I'm on Spring break visiting my friend Mary in DC. Today we went to the zoo! I love zoos!
I want to share all the pictures I took, and there are a whole bunch, so I'm going to put most of them behind a cut.
These are Asian Small-clawed Otters. I love otters. They're the best thing to see at the zoo, because they do lots of interesting things. (Second best is meerkats.)
Behind the cut: meerkats, elephants, tamarins, and more! (Um, and not a stitch of knitting. Sorry guys--I'll post some up soon.)

Panda! The pandas are apparently kind of the famous part of the DC zoo. We didn't see a whole lot of them, but still, pandas are pretty cool.
Capybara. My favorite oversized Amazonian rodent!
Hippo! This thing was enormous.
What's not to like about elephants? They're so slow and peaceful and friendly.
Me and my shadow . . .
There were about a million Golden Lion Tamarins in the small animal house. Apparently in warm weather they're free-ranging on the zoo.
And this one's a Golden-headed Lion Tamarin.
Here's a super awesome hornbill.
MEERKATS!
This is the antithesis of the dramatic prairie dog. Look at him, just sitting there all fat and lazy. He's all, "I can't touch my toes!"
Seconds after I took this photo, this orangutan puked all over the sill right in front of us. How often do you get to watch that?
This bearded dragon was so posing for me, so I took advantage.
Tortoise!
Some sort of iguana. It kind of reminds me of Joanna from Rescuers Down Under.
